Howard Janke Is Active In
Governor s Honor Program
dahlonega, ga.
Some teachers live by the
textbook. And their students
gain an education based on
the experience of others.
But Howard Janke believes
a total learning experience
requires a different ap
proach. ‘You’ve got to get
the students involved,”
Janke says, “and you’ve got
to approach education with a
‘hands on’ attitude.”
Janke, a resident of Griffin
and a biology instructor at
Woodward Academy in
College Park, is one of 35
Georgia high school teachers
working with new concepts in
education at the Georgia
Governor’s Honors Program
at North Georgia College.
The Governor’s Honors
Program (GHP) was found
ed in 1964 under the
administration of former
Georgia Governor Carl San
ders. It’s purpose is to expose
gifted Georgia high school
students to a total positive
learning experience and
allow the State Deparment of
Education to develop new
teaching concepts.
The program was limited
to Wesleyan College in
Macon and 400 students until
this summer. Governor
George Busbee enlarged the
program this year to include
an additional 200 students
and a second campus with
state funds and a grant from
the Appalachian Regional
Commission.
Janke is one of two science
teachers working with the
Program’s Science Depart
ment. “The science program
here is based on exploration
of experiences rather than a
utilization of textbooks,”
Janke said.
“We’re employing all sorts
of techniques used in
research projects,” he
added. “The students are
actually working with micro
biology, animal behavior, the
effects of growth substances
on plants and other studies
related to scientific re
search.”
Janke also said two
promising new concepts in

Georgia education are being
explored here: the “cluster”
and career exploration.
He explained the “cluster”
is an educational concept
which utilizes many different
disciplines and ideas in one
experience.
“The 200 students here
were divided into two groups
at the beginning of the
program." Janke said, “and
each group has been working
within various fields of study
of approach relevant social
problems such as aging,
dying, future technology,
famine, land uses as well as
current issues such as
politics.”
“The cluster idea is
exciting,” Janke continued.
“It’s an interesting technique
for teaching gifted students
by utilizing all resources in a
school. It’s the coming thing
in gifted education.”
Janke also said the career
exploration program here
represents a promising con
cept in Georgia education.
He said the program gives
students a realistic view of

added. "It involves on-site

opportunities can fill a great
need in our educational
system.” Janke continued,
“Students need to be aware
of what they can do and how
to go about it.”
However, the biology in
structor said one of the best
aspects of the program is
being associated with dedi
cated students and instruc
tors.
The program which began
June 17, is scheduled to run
through July 29. Activities
scheduled at the Dahlonega
Component of the GHP
include College Day, Student
Seminar Day, a visit from
Governor Busbee, Career
Day and tours of “The World
of Sid and Marty Krofft” in

In addition to his work
within the Science Depart
ment and one of the
“cluster” groups, Janke also
teaches a photography class
and works with the Pro
gram’s yearbook.
Janke was a former
teacher at Jackson High
School for three years,
resigning in 1976 to accept
the Woodward Academy
appointment.

Hours Shorter
At Flovilla
Metal Station
The aluminum recycling
collection hours in Flovilla
will be shortened, starting
with the first August pickup.
The Reynolds aluminum
recycling truck will be across
from City Hall from 1 to 2:30
p.m. every other Wednesday,
August 4 and 18.
Joe Arnett, Reynolds’
district manager, said that
collectors are usually in line
when the truck arrives. "R\
reducing the truck waiting
period a little, we will still be
able to get everyone's
aluminum and yet have more
time at the end of the day to
process metal at our re
cycling center in southeast
Atlanta. Ultimately, we’ll be
able to recycle aluminum
faster and at a cost which
will make recycling even
more feasible.”
The company pays 15 cents
